A brief announcement from Mascon & ZeeBee; your friendly leather artisan tool experts:
***
If you’re reading this, you’re most likely familiar with our Original Bump Jigs. Since our initial launch in February of last year, we’ve sold hundreds of sets of Bump Jigs, and we wanted to offer something extra special. And because we love brass so much, it seemed like a no-brainer to make them available again. This set of solid brass jigs can be used for marking, cutting, pattern replication, perfect stamp alignment, and so much more. What sets these apart from the aluminum version is the heavy weight, which after using these exclusively since we first produced them in brass last year, is a remarkably different experience. These jigs are heavy, and will keep your leather in place while you’re orienting your other jigs, aligning stamps, getting your straight edge ready for a cut, or just keeping something held down.

We've also opened up preorders for our Brass Leather Weights. The first round of brass weights sold out very quickly, and we started getting inquiries for more. The Mascon & ZeeBee Leather weight goes way beyond what a normal leather workshop weight can do. These weights are solid brass, and a whopping 4 pounds, 11 ounces. They’re 4” long, and 2.25” across flats. These weights are small, but mighty, and that’s a good thing. Instead of a grab handle or k**b at the top, we opted for a finger hole that’s very easy to grab and allows the weight to be used in any orientation. The footprint is compact, which makes it ideal for doing its job but staying out of the way. And because the finger hole goes from vertex to vertex, it makes the weight really easy to lift up from the horizontal position. Use them individually, or stack them to add a lot of weight in a very small space.

Our goal is to accept preorders, begin production, and have all of our tools shipped by the end of March.
